The Aftermath of this past sunday is felt widespread. Not a single soul in Rockland can go without hearing about the events that transpired. Here is the Official News story that aired Monday 10/18/10 on News 12.

"This is Brian Connibear here with you all at the News 12 Studio, and it is with great sadness I must deliver to you all the tale of horror, chaos and anarchy that has occurred in the county this past evening. The fire bomb attacks that struck The Gallery de Beaute, the Antrim Playhouse, Harley's and Honies, The Palisades mall, Serafina's, Stillettos, and the County Clerks office in Bardonia has brought the whole county to tears. The final death toll has gone from 13 to 38 confirmed and 8 people still missing. Fire houses from NYC, Westchester, Dutchess, and Orange county had to be called in for support. 3 deaths are confirmed to have been EMS agents trying to save people from the burning buildings. County Executives are to release a statement as well as the county police commissioner later this evening. Our sources say they may have at least one suspect in custody already. Federal Investigators have also put the following statement forth:

"It is our position, at this time, that this is not an act of terrorism but may be tied to last months firebombing of the Carnival Yacht docked at the Marina in Nyack. We have leads and will be looking for the cooperation of local authorities to assist us in our endeavors."

More Details to follow as we have them. Until then the Red Cross has sponsored therapy groups at local community centers across the county for mourners and anyone who may need to mourn after this tragedy.
